Fans were taken aback!
Avani and Ravi are father and daughter in EastEnders, although given the actors’ ages, it is not conceivable in real life.
Actors Aaron Thiara and Aaliyah James are actually quite similar in age.
Specifically, seven years…
Ravi could have been a father at seven, but I’m not sure.
EastEnders: Avani and Ravi

But that’s what makes soap land so lovely. While Ravi actor Aaron Thiara was born in May 1993, Aaliyah, who portrays a schoolgirl, was born in June 2000.
When social media fans saw how old the performers were, they were taken aback since they believed they looked their ages on film.
One X fan said, “Kathy and Ian in the modern day.” One person noted, “It’s very unbelievable that he’s younger than me,” while another person said, “She should be fifteen?
“I just discovered that the actors from Ravi and Avani are only seven years apart in age,” a fan wrote. Someone more commented, “SHE’S TWENTY FOUR??” beneath the first tweet, while a fifth person just yelled, “WHAT!!!”
Given their present plot, which centers on Avani being used by an older guy, the age difference appears to be especially intriguing.
Avani is dating an older man

Nugget discovered last week that Avani was messaging Mason, an older man she had been seeing since they first met before the club crush carnival celebration. She pleaded with him not to speak. Priya was requested to assist Ravi in unlocking her phone after he had taken it away.
She assured him, however, that he should not be concerned, disclosing that Avani had confided in her that she was going out with Barney. Ravi returned Avani’s phone and chose to ignore her messages.
Mason and Avani met, and Avani informed him that they would not be sleeping together.She had been pondering the idea, but did not feel ready and felt little pressed by the older man. He gave her a cracked lip and pushed her away after telling her to go.
As Ravi and Priya had a passionate moment,he observed his daughter with her injured mouth.
Ravi was certain that Barney was responsible for Avani’s injuries, despite her attempts to lie her way out of jail. He made the decision to discipline Barney before storming out.
This did not go well either, as he threatened to drop Barney and dangled him by his ankles over the rail bridge. Barney was spared when Avani intervened and told him the truth.
But Teddy wasn’t content, so he and Harry planned to burn down the call center.
